They just “shipped” yesterday from the first in stock batch.
Tracking info has not updated as of yet. I don’t imagine PSA is the type to send them to YouTubers like the gun manufacturers do. |

One of my Buddies ordered three. I'm going to see how his do. He wants to swap out his SA mags, even though he's had no problems at all in his pistol. I'm gonna try to pick up his SA mags cheap.

Probably going to sell my 43x if these don't work. The Shield mags ran great with FMJs but would not feed HP reliably at least in mine.
Are they made by Promag or is that just a rumor? Not had very good luck with Promag |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I missed out on the first run -- look forward to the next batch.Same. I'll be picking up a handful as soon as I can catch them in stock. Look forward to ARF reviews as I know some here will put them through their paces. I have 4 gen 1 shield mags with the upgraded gen 2 springs and followers along with their mag catch. 1 of my shield mags only locks on an empty chamber about 50% of the time. The rest have functioned very well. Despite that, I still carry an OEM Glock mag as my spare. But if the PSA's prove solid I'll be utilizing them in my 48 for EDC. |

Mags showed today. Loading photos and will come back and add notes later.
ETA. Externally they are basically the same dimensions. The PSA mag does not have the Glock shelf that prevents over insertion. All five mags I received insert and eject smoothly without the hitch in the YouTube vid. No problem inserting a full mag on a closed slide. I did notice the PSA mags don't wiggle as much as the Glock mags once inserted into the gun. Hoping to squeeze in a lunch time range trip this week. Really hoping these work well. I've come to like carrying the G48. I like the thinness and I shoot the gun well.  Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File Attached File |

 Attached File Attached FileThis mag spring is a new one to me. My world is mostly 1911 and HK. I've seen plenty of tapered springs but not one with two large then two small coils repeating for the length. I get it. It allows more coils to nest. Just never seen it.  Attached FileBest photo I could get showing how the nylon front cap is bonded to the metal mag body. Clear on the sides down low. Less clear is the stripe on the front face of the mag. That runs the full length of the mag. Also not visible is more attachment points higher on the mag where it starts to taper. About as much attachment as could be fitted. I remember reading the Shield Arms mag thread and thinking all someone needs to do is stick a Glock mag front on a steel mag body. Then thinking I have no idea how that would happen. Glad someone did. Simple idea, complicated engineering. Kudos to those that made this work.  Attached File |

Well managed to sneak out on the patio before leaving for work tonight and put a little over 50 rounds through my two mags.
Both mags were loaded with 15 with a round in the chamber for testing except for the last mag. First mag fired all rounds without a hitch. Second mag around round 7 or 8…  Attached FileI theorize the follower wasn’t keeping up with the slide speed. I did note that the PSA mags offer the rounds at a nose higher angle than the OEM, so that probably contributed. All that said, I shot the rest of the rounds through the mag that failed and didn’t have another issue. Could’ve just been a break in thing, we shall see. I’m not putting them in the carry rotation yet, but neither are I getting rid of them. I did shoot them dry, so a drop or two of CLP on the follower might help. Due to the failure, I’d like to put another ~500 rounds through them without issue before I fully trust them at this point. I’ve got a new optic coming finally to replace the Riton, hopefully it gets here quickly and I can put both the new optic and mags through their paces later in the week. |

The itch was too great. Stuffed my five mags with five different rounds and ran over to the local range today between Teams meetings. Good start. Dumped all five mags with zero malfunctions. Singles, doubles, triples, thumb riding the slide, weak grip etc. All good with my gun. G48/TLR7sub/Holosun. Someone in on of these threads asked for OAL on rounds tested. HST 147 1.128" OAL, Blazer Brass 115 1.153" OAL, Norma 124 1.162" OAL, AAC 124 1.146" OAL, Federal Syntec 147 1.124" OAL.

Thanks, it was me. When things go bad some folk have a bad habit of either not posting important information like the OAL they were using and what brand chronographed results so we can see if it was the ammo being underpowered, and not cycling the slide far back enough or was it OAL specific to that magazine, or just going off the emotional rails leaving us not much for due diligence to suspect more libel than fact. We caught one from Buckeye. Hopefully it was just a fluke. Hopefully no more but can have a nice database to collect and if there are teething problems then the information is here for PSA to collect and get things right later. Much appreciated, thank you for sharing along with Buckeye. |
